Meet Your Dietitian- Patrice
I am very passionate about living an active lifestyle. In my free time you can find me running, hiking, paddle boarding, swimming or weight training. I have always considered myself an athlete, growing up I was very involved with basketball. I started running during my college years and haven’t turned back since. When I first started, I struggled to run 3 miles at a time. Looking back, I would never have imagined I would be running half marathons now! It is amazing how nutrition plays such as vast role in our own athletic performance and I strive to help other athletes reach their full potential.
How Can I Help You?
I strive to help my clients develop a better, and healthier relationship with food.
You will learn how become an intuitive eater. What does this mean? An intuitive eater is someone who is aware of his/her hunger and fullness cues. They do not label foods as “good” or “bad.” An intuitive eater is able to eat the foods they love with a balanced eating approach. They do not have an “all or nothing” mindset when it comes to food.
I would love to help you fuel your body for optimal performance and watch your achieve goals you never thought were possible!
There are many different ways to enjoy staying active! I am here to help you discover what activities work best for you! You will learn how to achieve more energy throughout your busy day and how to recover properly after exercising.
